Why this matters
Independent-living retirement communities have active reader populations and limited budgets for trade-book acquisition. Donated books arriving in good condition extend what the community can offer to residents who depend on a daily-reading routine for cognitive engagement. La Vida Llena's library is one of several senior-care reading programs in the metro that NMLP supports.
What NMLP donates
- Large-print fiction and biography for residents with reduced vision
- Hardcover and trade paperback fiction popular with adult readers
- Regional New Mexico history and culture books with strong local-resident interest
- Cookbooks (cooking is a frequent activity in independent-living communities)
- Religious and devotional materials (multiple denominations served)
- Recent best-sellers when they come through the warehouse in good condition
How the routing works
NMLP coordinates regular deliveries with La Vida Llena's library steward (currently Glyndon Hossink, who also stewards the Sunflower Meadow Park LFL — the routing relationships compounded). Books are pre-sorted at the NMLP warehouse for large-print availability, condition, and category fit before delivery. The community's book cart and shared library absorb a steady flow.
How this routing started
Glyndon Hossink coordinated the relationship after positive Google review feedback; the partnership has been operational since 2025.
